Soolin gets the eighties glasses (to be found in every sefl-respecting student flat) out. |

Some episodes I found confusing so had to rewatch them to help clarify what I was watching.

Still trying to work out why Dorian was the way he was? As I see it he took people down below & he got their youth & that's how he stayed young or am I missing something? Nope, I think you've got it. Of course, it's a take on Oscar Wilde's ' The picture of Dorian Grey' where the portrait aged but the man didn't. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Pity other members here aren't here to join in. Seeing the membership is growing rapidly each week. Be even better if we or some to have a social night out. I know it's difficult due to vast distances etc. Just a passing thought

The monster absorbs them, and that allows it to absorb more of Dorian's negativity, and gives him his youth back. |

If Tarrant is puffed out going ‘down’ the stairs how the heck is he going to get back up? |

The look on Vila‘s face when he finds out his gun is useless is hilarious. |

A meeting thread sounds great. I know there us here from Australia as you know I'm from Melbourne & others from interstate. Used to be more from here but that was way, way back in the days of old.

I know I keep going on about it, but just think how much better the character of Dayna would be (would have been?) if she was played by someone several years younger - say 14 or 15 rather than 19/20. It would change the feel of the whole thing. As it is, people have to pretend she's younger than she is.

Ms. Virn yes Dayna is young but just think 'if' they did introduce a younger Dayna? The mind boggles.....

Could Avon and Soolin, even unarmed, not have jumped Dorian and overpowered him? |

Gan's is still the best death scene. Everyone else - other than Cally, who does it telepathically - ends up overacting.

She's written younger, which is what bugs me. And think of how weird that scene is between Dayna and Servalan in Aftermath,. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Slave isn't as direct as ZEN but serves a useful role as the ships computer & with ORAC both make a worthy duo.

Epilogue. The kitten was destroying a sponge. Bits of it everywhere. Need a new sponge.
